LOS ANGELES (AP) — Even though Puka Nacua has had several months to get used to the idea, the Los Angeles Rams' young star receiver still can't quite believe he's about to play alongside Davante Adams.

“We were just out at practice the other day, and I’m sitting next to him under the tent while it’s 100-and-something (degrees) outside, and I'm just thinking, like, dude, I think you could scroll back somewhere in my Twitter profile and there’d be tweets saying, 'Go Pack Go. I can’t wait to watch the Packers, and especially to watch No. 17,'” Nacua said with a grin.

Nacua actually gave that No. 17 to Adams when the veteran signed with Los Angeles several months ago, changing his jersey to No. 12 after spending his first two seasons wearing Adams' famous number. Nacua's depth of respect for Adams is obvious, and he's eager to see what they can do now that they're spending their Sundays together.

“To think that my locker is going to be next to his as we’re putting on the same uniform is still super-exciting,” Nacua said. “It feels surreal, but I know it’s going to be a headache for the defense across from us.”
